    Chinese valentine's day

    Qixi Festival, originating in China, is the earliest love festival in the world. Among the many folk customs of Qixi Festival, some gradually disappear, but a considerable part of it has been continued by people. 

    In some Asian countries influenced by Chinese culture, such as Japan, Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and so on, there is also a tradition of celebrating the Double Seventh Festival. On May 20, 2006, Qixi Festival was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council of the People's Republic of China.

    Romantic Legend

    The legend has been handed down for nearly 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back as the Jin Dynasty (256- 420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of verses on the. love story and many types of Chinese opera tell the story.

    The Chinese people believe that the star Vega , east of the Milky Way,is Zhi Nv and, at the constellation of Aquila,on the western side of the Milky Way, Niu Lang waits for his wife. 

    Zhi Nv was said to be the youngest of seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. with her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds

    in the sky,while Niu Lang was a poor orphan cowherd, driven out of his home by his elder brother and his cruel wife.

    Niu Lang lamented over his lonely and poor life with an old cow,his only friend and companion. The magical cow kindly told him of a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his life companion.

    Under the direction of the Cow, Niu Lang went to the riverside on an evening,where the seven fairies slipped out of their heavenly palace to bathe. 

    He took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on the bank. When the fairies 1eft the water, the youngest couldn' t find her clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to heaven wi thout her. 

    Then Niu Lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest fairy, Zhi Nv,to stay with him.

    Several years passed on Earth, which were only a few days in heaven. Niu Lang and Zhi Nv lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered Zhi Nv’s absence. 

    She was so annoyed she had Zhi Nv brought back to heaven. Seeing his beloved wife flying in the sky, Niu Lang was terrified. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical cow had told him before dying of old age: "Keep the cowhide for emergency use. ” 

    Putting the cowhide on, he went after his wife with his two children. 

    With the help of the cowhide, Niu Lang was able to follow Zhi Nv into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven,or the Milky Way.

    Zhi Nv went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad, and mi ssed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally,the Queen showed a little mercy, allowing the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River.
